“I’m going in there to knock him out,” said Rios. “Antillon is standing in my way for bigger and better things and I’ve worked too hard and too long to let him steal my dreams of becoming a world champion. I’ve dedicated my entire life to boxing and I’m going in there with the intentions of knocking him out.”
